The Justice Department has charged the operator of a container ship that struck the Francis Scott Key Bridge, as well as an employee who was onboard, in the fallout of a collision that caused the bridge to collapse and killed six people.
Federal prosecutors announced the indictment Tuesday morning, which accuses Synergy Marine Pte Ltd., based in Singapore, and Synergy Maritime Pte Ltd., based in Chennai, India, of conspiracy and obstruction.
Radhakrishnan Karthik Nair, 47, who worked as the ship’s technical superintendent, was also charged.
The Dali lost power twice in the moments leading up to the collision on March 26, 2024.
The crash killed six workers who were on the bridge to refill potholes and shut down shipping operations at Port of Baltimore for months.
Maryland officials estimate it could cost between $4.3 billion and $5.2 billion build a new bridge, which is expected to be open to traffic in 2030.
The Baltimore Banner was first to report on the federal indictment.
